Infrared Spectrometry Flashcards
Spectroscopic Analysis Function
Quality control for regulatory bodies and published standards (pharmacopia)
Pharmaceutical Impurities Sources
Manufacturing, product degradation, packaging and microbiological contaminants
How impurities are separated and analysed
Purified by chromatography. Analysed by spectroscopy and spectrometry
How Infrared is perceived to humans
Not visible (wavelength too long), perceived as heat. The greater the heat, the more IR radiated
Thermography Def
Measures heat released
IR Spectroscopy Def
Qualitative Identification. Identifies functional groups by bond vibrations, characterises solid samples and water content is measured. IR spectra are unique to each functional group
UV Spectroscopy
electron transitions determine bonding patterns
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy
Detects H atom signals and distinguishes isomers
Melting Point and purity
Melt sample. The narrower the range of temps melted over = the more pure the sample
Which C double bond is longer acid or ester
acid
Which is longer C double bond or OH
C double bond
Relationship between wavelength and frequency
bigger wavelength = smaller frequency
How adding energy to bond impacts it
It stretches or changes angle
Stretching Def
Changing of bond length. 2 Types
Symmetric stretching def
All bonds lengthen and shorten at the same time
Asymmetric Stretching def
When half the bonds lengthen the other half shortens
Changing of bond angles
Angles changes in relation to body and substituents. 4 Types
